Still: Five Minute Friday

Five Minute Friday Guidelines:

1. Write for 5 minutes flat for pure unedited love of the written word on the prompt, “Still.”
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Get a little crazy with encouragement in the comments of the five minuter who linked up before you.

We are still parched.

Still the ground cracks.

Still the dust kicks up upon arrival.

Still the leaves on the tree whither and fade.

Still the crops crumple under the relentless, scorching heat.

I pray. We pray. And still...

Still we are without relief.

And yet...

I still remain hopeful.

I still cling to the promise that He will provide for the needs of this earth.

Jenn--This is so real and so beautiful. I picture you with your hands raised toward heaven and a heart full of hurt, yet sustained by hope.

Reminds me of Habbakuk, standing amidst the ruined fields and desolate land, raising his voice to heaven, saying: Even though, Lord, even though. "...yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. —Habakkuk 3:18
